Why not go to a paint your own pottery joint and use thair supplies, I am sure it would be pricey, just not $500 worth! They all come out white glazed to begin with and the colors of the glazes are mapped out for you a head of time. Might be a fun project to at least try on a mug or plate at first. I may just do that at my local paint your own spot

Amy – maybe there is some kind of paint that could be used instead? Assuming the “blood” is just on the outside, what is to prevent you from sanding an area down, using some kind of all weather paint in that area and then finding a food-safe glaze to cover it over. This might need some mulling over. It would give you a variated seurface, but maybe that would be part of the charm? As Prêt-à-Porter mentioned – this is perfect for guests that stay too long. WAY better than those jars that say things like “troublesome patients” or “disgruntled relatives.”

I was actually looking at this and thinking that I could buy a cheap white or offwhite set from Walmart or some other place and then scuff up the finish with some sand paper mix something together that looks like blood and then reglaze or use a spray on glaze. After I moved might experiment with this one some cheap yardsale junk. I would think a glaze but I”m not sure how that would work since the glazes usually dry lighter…
Good luck to anyone who tries this out! And thanks for the great post!
